I don't understand, what was Uberspace hosting? Was it just an informational webpage about youtube-dl with no downloadable binaries? The article says the downloads were hosted on GitHub which was linked to by the Uberspace site.

They _are_ still hosting https://youtube-dl.org/, which does only link to / redirect to the downloads and repository on Github. While there are download links like https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl.exe on the website, they simply return a 302 redirect to the latest artifact on Github, i.e., https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/releases/download/202....

At Uberspace, you get a shell account with email and webroot. Some sort of console-friendly shared hosting.
